Do Compaq's have tap touchpad?

Do the new compaq laptops (C500T series and new V6000T series) have the "tap" touchpad (whatever it's called) Do you know what I mean?

I know Acer, Toshiba, and HP has it.

 

Seems like a regular touchpad to me. I don't know what feature you are asking for so i may not be that reputable of a source.

 

You know when you drag your fingerr on the pad to a file or whatever and you tap the pad to open that file instead of having to touch the button below the pad.

 

Don't all pads come with that?

 

All laptops pads have that feature now-a-days.

 

Wow it took one day for this technology to be implemented world-wide into every notebook. Sweet.

 

What do you mean???? What he is trying to ask is taping and opening a folder using the mouse pad and not clicking on a button. What's funny is that you reply to posts saying I can't help . If you can't help then do not post!

 

But then that would be wasting thread.

 

I went to Circuit City today and the new Compaq's DON'T HAVE tap touch pad. In order to open a file or whatever you have to click on the button below the pad. That sucks.

 

That may just be a setting in the touchpad setup. I know I can disable/enable 'tap to click' on my touchpad, although its a business notebook.

 

Marmion is almost certainly right on. Just about all laptops can do that these days, I'd be shocked to find one that did not support tapping to click -- some (Apples I know can do this) can tell the difference between tapping with one, two, and three fingers (one to single click, two to double click, etc.).

Think of it this way, a Touch Pad has to be presure sensitive by design, so all pretty much all you should have to do to support this as a hardware vendor is make the driver can tell the difference between a short, momentary press vs press, hold, and move.

BTW, Some people don't like having the tap function work because of accidently tapping while typing and moving the cursor somewhere else. While there often is an optoin to disable taps while typing some people just disable the tapping altogether.
